there was an advertisement that ran in 1980 against jimmy carter. you would think it was the mitt romney can complain about the obama administration's weakness on foreign policy. i think what you are going to see in the debate i presume although i do not have full confidence that mitt romney will be able to pull it off but i think he will make that argument no matter what the topic is especially if it is serious in the middle east he will try to say the administration is the first one to have abandoned this idea of peace versus strength. host: let's get to the phones and hear what you have to say. keith is on the republicans line. good morning. caller: good morning. i am glad to be on c-span with you this morning. my question is not so much in regards to a terrorist attack. to me, it was a military attack or the engagement of military action. a terrorist attack is on a civilian target designed to create fear in the civilian population. this was completely not that. this was an attack against the american sovereignty. that is my problem with it. gues

jimmy carter seemed to be the thing that was different. he had a very pro-human rights view that seemed to appeal to these nascent neo-conservatives. when they elected him, they were disappointed on a number of levels. one was a personal perspective. they were almost completely shut out. elliott abrams has this famous, and where he said -- we did not get anything, all we got was the ambassadorship to micronesia. not even macronesia. they also said the foreign policy of carter was not sufficiently strong. and that the neo-conservative joke of the era was that the foreign policy was -- lose the country, a gain an ethnic restaurant. vietnam, afghanistan -- that was the sense. you had all of these ethnic restaurants popping up in washington, d.c. carter had difficult relationships with israel. not as bad as after he was president, i must say, but they did but heads. seen as an alternative, not good from the pro-israel effective. reagan got 39% of the jewish vote in 1980. what is a bit about that? for a republican, it was a huge achievement. ov

we sought a very big swing away from jimmy carter into words ronald reagan. this year, i think we are seeing what might be necessarily a slow-motion 1980 home with the october 3 debate obviously changing some opinion and leaving the question over whether or not there'll be further movement in governor romney's direction. >> you were only five minutes, i am very impressed. henry is going to talk about ohio. we have been watching for a long time and want to refer you to a book written by our colleague in 1970. they wrote a book called the real majority and they identified the key to the election was the dayton housewife. the middle of the country, a 47- year-old catholic married to a machinist that would be the key to electoral politics. she became so famous that dick cavett sent a team of producers to try to find that housewives. after that, she appeared in announcing about the election. she had a cigarette and it was really quite an experience. we have been watching ohio for a long time and you can tell us if it will be the housewife from cincinnati or columb
